How do you deal with writer’s block?

Pretending there's no such thing is cruel and dismissive and further shames those who are genuinely suffering from it.

One way I deal with it is by using a web app like Write or Die and slamming the keyboard for a preset amount of time. I might be typing out garbage, but I can either 1) revise, or 2) look at it as purging the bad before I get to the good.

Another way is changing my creative medium. If I'm stuck while typing, I'll switch to longhand. If I'm stuck while doing both, I'll draw out the scene with markers and a sketch pad. Sometimes I just have to walk away from the story altogether and do some sewing. One creative endeavor tends to feed into the other.

Sometimes when I'm stuck on a story, I'll find a writing prompt that might be relevant and let loose from there. If that doesn't help, then I commiserate with one of my writer friends and we brainstorm. Brainstorming and bouncing your ideas off someone else is fantastic for dislodging writer's block.(less)

Website in Progress

My website is slowly, but surely, chugging along. I'm going to be shooting my official author photo soon, and I'm also scripting some posts for a semi-podcasty blog section. I'll be learning how to use studio-grade audio equipment so I don't have to cheap it out with the laptop and give everyone a fuzzy podcast. Nothing's more irritating than bad sound quality.
